We are your partner for the entire product life cycle with an extensive product portfolio and customized service and spare parts solutions.
For the following applications:
Our customers are individuals and so are our solutions, products and services. Every sector, market and region has their own special requirements on pumps and valves. When our customers start a new project involving high-efficiency pumps and valves, they know that we at KSB listen to them carefully. We want to understand the particular challenges of each and every project. This is the only way we can find an optimum solution together with our customers and master every challenge.
How we combine our focus on our customers’ requirements and draw on our more than 150 years of passion for technological progress and innovation is what our customers appreciate about KSB. At the same time we give everything to continuously improve our know-how by conducting ongoing research and using the latest technologies.
It is very useful for us in this regard to be present in all relevant markets around the globe with our own factories and development departments. We speak our customers’ language and know first hand what each market requires. Often it’s not only about ever-increasing quality, longevity and energy efficiency for pumps and valves. It’s about individual solutions.In order to limit global warming to 1.5 °C, the states that ratified the Paris Climate Agreement are committed to making climate-friendly changes to their economies, including the mobility sector. Previously, fossil fuels that produced large volumes of CO2 emissions were burned. Today, however, more sustainable solutions are in demand, with carbon-neutral, non-fossil fuels becoming increasingly important.
Technical innovation has been a strong tradition at KSB for 150 years. Developing innovative solutions is our daily work. For many years now, KSB has also been active in the area of biofuels and synthetic fuels. It knows the processes involved and can offer a whole host of state-of-the-art products.
Biofuels and synthetic fuels are gaining importance, especially in those industries in which electrification is only feasible in the long term (for example, shipping and aviation).
Biofuel is mostly liquid fuel produced from biomass for use in combustion engines. Renewable raw materials such as rapeseed, sugar beet, wood, straw and residues from the food processing industry can be used as basis. The most important types of biofuels are biodiesel, bioethanol, biomethane and vegetable oil (rapeseed oil).
Synthetic fuels or synfuels are produced from a mixture of isolated carbon dioxide and climate-neutral hydrogen. These fuels are currently in the development phase. However, they will play a major role in the future, especially in industries that are not easily electrified
Our non-fossil fuel products KSB is a full-range supplier for pumps, valves and service with decades of experience and in-depth application knowledge. All KSB products offer long-term efficiency as well as reliability and require minimal maintenance, thus ensuring the economic, trouble-free operation of your systems.

As a globally recognised specialist for water treatment, KSB sets standards in waterworks systems and desalination systems from Paris to New York, Sao Paulo, Sydney and Singapore
Surging global demand for water  especially in industry and households  requires ever more and larger water treatment systems and plants which have to work efficiently. A further challenge is that in future more than 40 % of drinking water will have to be produced via seawater desalination.
Obtaining drinking water or process water often requires mechanical and biological water treatment. In many cases, large masses of water need to be transported as energy-efficiently as possible. Especially in the case of drinking water treatment, all components must also meet stringent hygiene standards as peopleÂs health is at stake.

Main Applications
Waste Water Disposal and Transport
Waste water disposal perfected  with products from KSB Rising global population levels are making waste water transport increasingly important. KSB offers municipalities and industrial companies efficient pumps and valves.
The challenge waste water poses: trouble-free, efficient disposal Absolute reliability is essential in plants for waste water disposal.
At the same time, the pumps and valves used must be energy-efficient in order to keep total cost of ownership low. A difficult undertaking considering that the waste water volumes to be transported and disposed of are increasing worldwide.
In addition, the composition of waste water is becoming increasingly problematic: as a result of water-saving measures, waste water contains more and more solids and less and less water. This requires innovative solutions and advanced technology. The pumps employed must have a long service life, must not clog and should be as energy-efficient as possible. Industrial waste water also places exacting demands on pumps and valves. They must be particularly resistant to wear and corrosion.
